All along I thought I was having \u201csenior moments.\u201d This past week a friend told me that he didn\u2019t have \u201csenior moments,\u201d but rather suffered from \u201cintellectual interruptions.\u201d Since I\u2019ve had this problem long before I became a senior, I think I like the new term better. Whether your memory lapses are \u201csenior moments\u201d or \u201cintellectual interruptions\u201d or \u201closing the train of thought\u201d or \u201cdrawing a blank\u201d as my grandfather used to call it, the key is to re-focus.

Thoughts are similar, but the older one gets the slower that machine runs. The Bible tells us to use our minds to focus on \u201cwhatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report . . .\u201d So, while I\u2019m thinking about it, I want to \u201cthink on these things\u201d (Phil. 4:8). Would you join me this week \u2013 as you remember to do so?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
